[75601] US threatens strikes against Iran: "Fewer conferences, more combat power"

The US issues an ultimatum to Iran and emphasizes the need for military power

US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, took a firm stance yesterday regarding US policy toward Iran. According to him, the US is prepared to resume military strikes against Iran in the event that the conditions for a diplomatic agreement do not materialize. According to Asaf Rosenzweig, Big World News, President Trump is currently showing "patience" and aims to reach an "excellent deal" that will absolutely ensure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons.

A similar report appeared on ynet news, which emphasizes the American readiness to take military steps if necessary.

In a speech delivered at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Hegseth presented a security worldview advocating for military pragmatism over diplomatic discourse alone. As noted in the report by Asaf Rosenzweig, the Secretary emphasized: "We need fewer conferences and more combat power, fewer Shangri-Las and more ships and more submarines."

Hegseth's remarks reflect a resolute approach by the US administration, which combines a willingness for deals on one hand, and readiness for military escalation on the other, as part of the overall strategy to prevent Iran's nuclear armament.
